Product Overview: The HK 0609 Drawn Cup Needle Roller Bearing
The HK 0609 is a compact and efficient drawn cup needle roller bearing, designed with a bore diameter of 6mm, an outer diameter of 10mm, and a width of 9mm. As a key component in our Needle Roller Bearings category, this bearing features a thin-walled, drawn outer cup that serves as a raceway for the needle rollers. Its unique construction provides a high load-carrying capacity within a very small cross-section, making it an excellent choice for applications with limited radial space.
This bearing is part of the Drawn Cup Bearings family and is designed for a tight press-fit into the housing, which eliminates the need for shoulders or snap rings to locate the bearing axially. This simplifies housing design and reduces manufacturing costs. The open-end design is suitable for a wide range of through-shaft applications, offering reliable performance and minimal friction. Our commitment to quality ensures that the HK 0609 bearing meets rigorous industry standards for performance and durability.
Key Features of the HK 0609 Bearing
- Low Cross-Section: Its minimal radial height makes it ideal for compact designs where space is a critical constraint.
- High Radial Load Capacity: Despite its small size, the full complement of needle rollers provides excellent radial load-carrying ability.
- Drawn Steel Outer Cup: The thin-walled outer cup is precisely formed, hardened, and acts as the outer raceway for the rollers.
- Cage-Guided Rollers: A steel cage accurately guides the needle rollers, reducing friction and heat generation during operation.
- Press-Fit Installation: Designed for a simple and secure press-fit into the housing, which can reduce assembly time and cost.
- Open-End Design: Suitable for a wide variety of industrial through-shaft applications.
Common Applications of HK 0609 Bearings
- Automotive Systems: Used in transmissions, steering columns, and powertrain components where space and performance are crucial.
- Power Tools: Ideal for drills, sanders, and other handheld equipment requiring compact and robust bearing solutions.
- Office and Home Appliances: Found in printers, copiers, and other machinery with rotating or oscillating parts.
- Small Engines: Provides reliable support for crankshafts and connecting rods in two-stroke and four-stroke engines.
- Industrial Gearboxes: Functions effectively as support for gear shafts in compact reduction gears and transmissions.
- Pumps and Compressors: Used in various types of pumps where radial space is limited but high load capacity is required.
- Robotics and Automation: Perfect for joints and actuators in robotic arms and automated machinery due to its small footprint.
